Jarran Reed “Had A Certain Feeling” The Seahawks Would Draft Him

Granted, he would have preferred that it happened a day and a round earlier, but Alabama defensive tackle Jarran Reed had a premonition he would be drafted by the Seattle Seahawks.

Ever since Reed met with Seahawks coaches at the Senior Bowl, the 6-3, 311 run-stuffer felt good about his chances of landing in Seattle, even if a lot of draft analysts projected him to be drafted before Seattle’s first-round pick, let alone their second-rounder.

“My last time talking to them was at the Senior Bowl,” Reed said. “This whole time, I had a certain feeling. I thought it was going to happen yesterday with the last pick, but I knew today—actually right before it happened, I told my mom, I said, ‘Ma, I’m going to the Seahawks.’ I’ve been talking about the Seahawks ever since the Senior Bowl. I’m just real happy and excited that it actually happened. It’s a dream come true to play on this defense.”
